This brown transfer ware butter pat measures about 2 3/4” square with rounded corners. It was manufactured by Gildea & Walker Staffordshire England. It has a register mark and dates to 1881. The bottom is impressed with the word, “Ivory” and letter, ‘N’. The aesthetic movement began in the 1860’s with a break from the usual Victorian artistry. It didn’t last long, ending in the 1890’s. Many patterns have an Asian influence with a mixture of various other patterns. The b...lossoms, stylized bird figure, basket weave and paisley patterns are a good example on this butter pat. No chips or hairlines but has an ‘all over’ crazing that adds to it’s charm. It’s a sweetheart!Thank you for viewing, questions welcomed.No handling fees, safe packing.
